Video games to be classified

       The Culture Ministry plans to send draft legislation on video game ratings to the cabinet for approval before adding it to the 2008 Film and Video Act.
       Minister Teera Slukpetch yesterday said the draft had been modified by the Council of State to divide games into seven categories based on users' age groups.
       "The new draft is aimed at controlling improper and violent video games from being distributed in the country and,importantly, to limit players' ages," Mr Teera said.
       Film and Video Classification Office director Pradit Prosil said distribution of game content that damaged the country's image and reputation or opposed good moral conduct was banned.
